  • ๐ŸŸข Should be OK for everyone. Maybe some mud because of the rain.

Who says the Grenoble Adventure Club (GAC) shies away from a little rain? ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Let's demonstrate our resilience and gracefully navigate through the raindrops. ๐Ÿ’ง Our journey begins with a 45-minute drive ๐Ÿš—, arriving at the quaint village of Villaroux in Savoie. ๐Ÿก In the morning, we'll traverse the open fields adjacent to the forest ๐ŸŒพ๐ŸŒฒ and even drop by the charming village of Soucy. ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ As we venture into the woods, we'll ascend to the twin towers of Montmayeur, remnants of an ancient castle. ๐Ÿฐ Here, we might take shelter near or within the towers for our lunch break ๐Ÿž๐Ÿง€, safeguarding us from the wind and rain. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Our afternoon will be spent meandering through the forest and over the hills ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ, with the hope of catching a panoramic view of the valleys below. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿž๏ธ Completing our loop, we'll return to the parking lot where, if you've planned ahead, dry clothes, socks, and shoes await. ๐Ÿ‘•๐Ÿงฆ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Finally, we'll head back to Grenoble by car. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ
